“Don’t turn your face away.
Once you’ve seen, you can no longer act like you don’t know.
Open your eyes to the truth. It’s all around you.
Don’t deny what the eyes to your soul have revealed to you.

Now that you know, you cannot feign ignorance.
Now that you’re aware of the problem, you cannot pretend you don’t care.
To be concerned is to be human.
To act is to care.”
― Vashti Quiroz-Vega

“Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun; not living a nightmare in the darkness of the soul.”
― Dave Pelzer, A Child Called "It"

“You want to know about anybody? See what books they read, and how they've been read...”
― Keri Hulme, The Bone People

“Your mysterious young friend, whose name you have never told me, but whose picture really fascinates me, never thinks.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
